Her assignment is to become romantically involved with Peter Jordan, an American engineer working on a top-secret D-Day project.

One of these operatives is Catherine Blake, a ruthless assassin and spy. Now they pose a serious threat to the invasion plans. MI5 learns, however, that the Abwehr has been keeping a few sleeper operatives under deep cover throughout the war.

The intelligence reports he fabricates and sends to Germany are designed to persuade the Nazis that their utterly compromised spy network, the Abwehr, is still fully operational. Alfred Vicary is an academic recruited to work for MI5. While Silva employs multiple characters and settings, his key players are an English counterintelligence officer and a beautiful Nazi spy. Will Nazi spies escape from Britain with Allied plans for the imminent invasion of Normandy? As history tells us, obviously not-so the challenge for veteran journalist and CNN producer Silva in his first novel is to brew up enough intrigue and tension to make readers forget the obvious.
